Corning's OptiFocus Lensed Fiber Selected by Aegis Semiconductor.CORNING, N.Y., and WOBURN, Mass. -- Aegis Semiconductor, an emerging leader in dynamic optical components and systems, and Corning Incorporated Corning Incorporated NYSE: GLW is an American manufacturer of glass, ceramics and related materials, primarily for industrial and scientific applications. The company was known until 1989 as Corning Glass Works. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : GLW GLW Glasgow Airport (UK) GLW Gross Laden Weight GLW Good Lady Wife (Australia) ) today announced that the Corning OptiFocus(TM) Collimating Lensed Fiber has been designed into the Aegis Semiconductor mosquito(TM) Optical Channel Monitor (OCM OCM Oracle Certified Master (database administrator certification) OCM Organization for Competitive Markets OCM Onondaga Cortland Madison (counties in New York) OCM Olympic Council of Malaysia ). The mosquito OCM represents the first commercially shipping product designed with Corning's OptiFocus Collimating Lensed Fiber. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. James Hollis, commercial manager, Corning Photonic Materials, "Corning is pleased that Aegis has designed OptiFocus into their mosquito OCM. Aegis can benefit from OptiFocus' unparalleled optical performance, design flexibility, and small form factor to produce the industry's smallest tunable detector." OptiFocus Lensed Fiber is made with a unique lens forming process suitable for producing a wide range of lens sizes. As a result, the small beam diameter The beam diameter of an electromagnetic beam is the diameter along any specified line that is perpendicular to the beam axis and intersects it. For this purpose, the diameter is often defined as the distance between the two diametrically opposite points at which the irradiance is a allows for miniaturized, low cost tunable components such as the mosquito OCM. In addition, the collimator's reliability and operating conditions are the same as those of the fiber, enabling lower costs for assembly. "We know we've made the right choice by teaming with Corning," said Gary Ainsworth, vice president of Manufacturing Operations, Aegis Semiconductor. "By having designed the OptiFocus collimator collimator (kol´imātur), n a diaphragm or system of diaphragms made of an absorbent material and designed to define the dimensions and direction of a beam of radiation. into the mosquito OCM, we're benefiting from small form factor and unparalleled performance to produce the very smallest tunable components. This packaging strategy enables us to pass the benefits of low cost packaging and manufacturing to our customers." The mosquito OCM is designed based on Aegis' Active Thin Films technology platform that enables the manufacturing of tunable components at the size, reliability, and price points of passive components. About Aegis Semiconductor Aegis Semiconductor is a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. that builds solutions for monitoring and managing intelligent optical networks. Based on its tunable thin film technology, Aegis is the first company to deliver low-cost dynamic optical components that are reliable and easily manufactured using well-tested methods from the semiconductor industry. Aegis has secured more than $27 Million in funding from leading investors and venture capitalists including Vestbridge Partners, Alta Partners, YankeeTek Ventures, Technology Venture Partners, Stata Venture Partners, and Megunticook Management. The company is located in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA. More information can be viewed at www.aegis-semi.com.
